My goodness, Lisa!
You have encapsulated all of the descriptions I can think of to proffer a creative definition of poet! I had to smile with "pretentious or profound," as I have read one or two such offerings on this site!
I also appreciate the fact that you chose to write your offering as an Acrostic = my nemesis!

Kudos and Best Wishes!

    Oh my goodness back at you for such a rave review! Thank you, Diane!! (I figured I could handle a 4-letter acrostic without being reduced to uttering 4-letter words while doing so.)

    My review should have been six stars!

    On my way to remedy that!

    Best Wishes!

Wow, cleverly done romantic definition for a poet that is tormented, elegant, pretentious and original. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

You just convinced me not to enter this contest; mystery poet, you penned a brilliant Acrostic in rich vocabulary, phrased into meaningful verses; outstanding presentation! A sure win!

    Nothing is sure in this world, but thank you very much for your rave review. Have faith in your own verse... it is never a foregone conclusion what other voters will like.

Nice entry for the acrostic contest. You went above and beyond using multiple words of each letter in each line.
You covered many types of poetry and their various ways of reaching people.

'Pretentious or profound, a poem pictures a possibility' This is the best line of your poem!

Enjoyed!

Best of luck in the 'Find a creative definition for poet' writing prompt contest.

This is really good! It covers a wide array of facets of poetry. Your artwork looks like an exciting explosion of emotion, so its fitting. I could see this as an intro to a poetry book. You fulfilled the requirements of the prompt, so well done:)

    Thanks for your nice comments about my poem - much appreciated.
    That's a good suggestion to use this as a poetry book introduction. I really must start compiling a book - heaven knows I write enough of the stuff!

    You should do it! You are welcome always!

You have a amazing use of words that vividly describe the poet. "Effervescent or eloquent" are words that impact the poem and show how diverse poetry can be. Excellent acrostic form with a strong steady beat. Best wishes for the contest.
